Even after 19 years, some couples realize that it just isn't meant to be. San Francisco actor/comedian Robin Williams's wife has filed for divorce. According to the Boston Herald, Marsha Garces Williams filed on the basis of irreconcilable difference and asked for joint custody of the couple's son, Cody.
During their marriage, The Williamses often worked together, founding Blue Wolf Productions. Marsha was on the production staff on some of Robin's San Fran flicks including and Mrs. Doubtfire and Patch Adams. The two also gave back to the community with the creation of the Windfall Foundation, which raises money for causes including Doctors Without Borders and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The divorce of course poses a big question...who gets to keep the statues from Jumanji?

The Swayze contributes to San Fran's smog!
It seems that the cancer stricken star can't stop puffin'.
Roadhouse star Patrick Swayze was spotted leaving Stanford University Hospital with a cigarette in hand. Though many cases of pancreatic cancer can be linked to smoking, all Patrick seems to manage is cutting down. He has been known to smoke up to three packs (of 20 cigarettes each) every day!
The Telegraph reports that Swayze has promised to keep acting while fighting the illness. He was filming the pilot of a new television drama shortly before his diagnosis last week.
Originally, Swayze had been told he had only weeks to live after the shock diagnosis last week. However, doctors are now reporting that because The Swayze has such a small amount of the disease, they are optimistic his treatments will give him a much better chance at fighting the pancreatic cancer.
We hope they are giving him a good bed in Stanford University Hospital. Nobody Puts Patrick in the Corner.

Johnny Castle treated in the Bay area!
Just days after the unfortunate passing of fellow Road House castmember Jeff Healey, Patrick Swayze announced that he has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Though the disease is in its early stages, most who suffer from pancreatic cancer are usually given less than 7 months to live.
Dirty Dancing star's publicist stated that it was detected early, and that, so far, he is responding well to his treatment. Swayze is still working on 2 projects set to release later this year. What a trooper!
The actor had been travelling to Stanford University's cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy.

Robin Williams backs up Jimmy Kimmel
Not too long ago, Comedy Central's Sarah Silverman created a music video letting her boyfriend, Jimmy Kimmel know that she was *$@&^!%'ing Matt Damon. Once he got over the bon-bons and cheesy romantic comedy movie phase, Kimmell retalliated with Damon's Boston best bud and Gone Baby Gone director, Ben Affleck. The all-star cast of A-listers he called on to help included none other than San Francisco's own Robin Williams, who starred with both Damon and Affleck in the award winning Good Will Hunting.
Here they are, making us all so proud.

Eli Stone a Hit!
The new San Francisco based show Eli Stone has hit primetime and has definitely made its mark. Coming in just behind "Without a Trace" in the ratings, the show is gaining attention and ground on the charts.
The show centers around a lawyer who has built a successful career at a top San Francisco law firm. Eli Stone represents the biggest and richest corporations where "screwing over the little guy" is common practice. After several odd hallucinations, (beginning with a visit from George Michael in the pilot), Eli turns to his neurologist brother, only to be told there is nothing wrong with him. As his visions continue, hebegins to realize that th
ese hallucinations may be signs as to what kinds of cases Stone should take and how to proceed with them.
Eli Stone airs on Thursday nights at 10PM on ABC.
